Since the attacks on 7 October 2023, tragically, 6 Magen David Adom (MDA) colleagues have been killed. As the situation’s developed, MDA has continued to support communities, particularly those living near the borders with Gaza and Lebanon.

Over the last year, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has been a lifeline for people in Gaza. Tragically, 21 PRCS staff and volunteers have been killed. Their colleagues must live with this loss while continuing to provide vital support.

On 7 October 2023, 251 people were taken hostage from Israel. Many are still being held. We have always been clear in reiterating the International Committee of the Red Cross’ call: they must be granted access to the hostages and all those held must be released immediately.

It's been a year since the devastating attacks in Israel and escalation of conflict in Gaza that has led to relentless human suffering. I assure you that we at the British Red Cross will continue to do everything we can to help our partners across our Movement to respond.

Awni, Tehrar, Yehya. Father, mother and son. All three family members are emergency medical technicians for the Palestine Red Crescent Society, providing humanitarian service to people in Gaza. This is their story.

A year on from the 7 October attacks in Israel, we’ve heard many accounts of bravery from our Magen David Adom (MDA) colleagues. From staff and volunteers, and from the communities affected. Read these stories here: redcross.org.uk/stories/disast…

I was honoured to be at the launch of the CivilSociety Covenant yesterday at No 10 Downing Street, alongside many of our brilliant sector colleagues. It was great to hear Prime Minister Keir Starmer reaffirm the government’s commitment to working closely with the sector.

I joined DEC to discuss how they are raising millions for the humanitarian situation in the Middle East, which we are match funding. I am appalled by the images of suffering in the region. We urgently need to see aid getting into Gaza and de-escalation across the region.

There are thousands of people from Syria waiting for a response on their asylum claim. We know from our work supporting them that this pause will cause distress. It is crucial that those seeking asylum be given compassionate understanding and guidance to navigate this process.

Did you spot the Red Cross emblem on tonight's episode of #GreatBritishMenu? The emblems used by our Movement across the world are special symbols under international humanitarian law. They protect people who wear them, and buildings and vehicles displaying them. ⬇️

The situation in Gaza is appalling. PRCS plays a critical role in providing medical care to civilians in desperate need. Today I reiterated my outrage at the killing of aid workers. Those responsible must be held accountable.
